The Start

Day One: We got up nice and early at 3am and I only felt a little bit like death, but a very excited death. The taxi came on time as did our flight so before to long we were up in the sky and on out way! To Sydney. Then it was off to New Zealand temporarily and unexpectedly where we literally got off the plan for an hour then got back on into the same seats, they were picking up extra passengers. This was now the big one, an 11 hour flight that would take us to Chile and our first foray into South America

This shot was taken at Melbourne airport and features yours truly post trip in the reflection. It was the first of many, many airports we would go through.
